Happy May Day.

Does anybody even celebrate May Day anymore? I can remember when I was a kid, my mom, brother, sister and I would make paper baskets. My mom would make popcorn while we were coloring or decorating our 'baskets' and we would then fill them up, walk around the neighborhood and hang them from door knobs of random houses. I can understand why people dont do it these days. This world just isnt the same as it was 25 years ago.

Just a memory I thought I would share.

Had a pretty good day today. I have been making plans to take the Amtrak to Pittsburgh to see Eric. Yeah, I havent said much about him, Im afraid of the proverbial jinx. So once I can get my kids to sit down for a few minutes, Im going to talk to them about it. $134 round trip from Chicago to Pittsburgh just seems too good to be true. So inexpensive compared to driving.

Eric. I love him.

I didnt go see my Gram today. I think I needed a break. I know shes fine and I will see her tomorrow and bring her the few things she wanted. Junior Mints, cough drops and a needle and thread. For some reason she thinks shes going to be sewing. Im not sure what you sew in a nursing home.

My best girlfriend got my brother a black lab puppy today. She named him Widow. Mark, my brother, has a thing with Black Widow spiders. So it only makes sense to name the black dog Widow. My brother and her are dating.....way long story. Maybe like a few days worth of blogs, so Im not going to get into it. The dog is HIS. He is a few days worth of blogs as well, but to know him, is to understand him. Not many people understand him. By not many, I mean maybe 2. Me and her. And soon the dog.

My house is quiet right now. Kids are all outside. It in the mid 70s right now and we are expecting a lot of rain. I like rain. It calms me, so it can rain all it wants.

I love Eric...... *sigh*

Ok.....I got nothing more today.

Peace Out.....
